Electronic Signature PDF Guide or Book

Electronic signatures have been legal in most countries for more than a decade now. But, many people and organisations are still reluctant to use them. This is often simply because they don’t understand them. What is an electronic signature? Why should you trust an electronic signature instead of a handwritten one? Will the transaction you conclude with an electronic signature be valid?

This lack of understanding is unfortunate, because electronic signatures have huge advantages over handwritten signatures – including:

• being faster
• being more secure
• letting you keep transactions electronic
• being environmentally friendly

This uncertainty is a major problem for your business if you use electronic signatures or provide other businesses with electronic signature solutions.

If you already have a good idea about practically using electronic signatures and the law, the next step is to help the people and organisations that you do business understand as well. This will let you do business with them more effectively.
